Last weekend Maddie and Brennan had their 'joint' birthday party with friends. We did the same thing last year, and while they were opposed to the idea before last years party, afterwards they enjoyed it so much they asked if we could do it the same way this time! We happily agreed.
This year's theme was easy to decide on since the fall has been filled with a growing love for cheerleading and football. The perfect combo for their party! And, as an added blessing, some of the cheerleaders and football players from the kids' school agreed to come to the party and teach cheers and throw the football around. It was truly sweet to see the big kids being such amazing role models for the little ones. One of the mom's told me she heard a kindergartner say to one of football players, "Big kids, you are going down!" CUTE! And, the 5 and 6 year old boys really believe that they beat the big guys at football! Ahh...the joys of childhood. (sorry about the quality of some of the pictures - there was something on my camera lens.)
